The Favor
A novel from The Way Home: Parables of the Enneagram
What if pouring yourself out for everyone else slowly leaves you empty inside?
Grace has spent her life being the one others lean on. The one who says yes. The one who offers help before it is asked and gives herself away in the hope that love will finally return her name. When an extraordinary request is placed before her, a favor that asks more than anyone should give, Grace agrees, believing it is the most loving choice she can make.
But as the cost of that decision unfolds, Grace is forced to face a question she has spent years avoiding:
Who is she when she is no longer needed?
Grace Cooper has spent her life taking care of everyone else, earning her place by being indispensable. As an Enneagram Type Two, helping is how she loves, belongs, and survives. Within her close-knit family and service-shaped world, generosity is praised, availability is assumed, and love is proven through sacrifice.
When Grace agrees to a life-altering favor for her best friend, the quiet cost of her self-giving begins to surface. At the same time, she meets Fitz O'Roarke, a self-sufficient billionaire philanthropist whose steady presence offers affection without demand and love without exchange.
For the first time, Grace is not needed.
She is simply wanted.
As love deepens and long-held patterns are gently exposed, Grace must face the question she has avoided her entire life: If I stop giving, will I still matter?
The Favor is a contemporary Christian literary romance and modern parable about devotion, identity, and the courage it takes to receive what we have always tried to earn.
About the Series: The Way Home: Parables of the Enneagram
The Way Home: Parables of the Enneagram is a fiction series that explores the inner life through story rather than instruction. Each novel is written as a parable, a story that, when received within the reader's own story, has the power to awaken insight, invite healing, and lead toward wholeness.
The Enneagram is a psycho-spiritual map that explores nine interconnected ways of experiencing the world, each shaped by a core desire and fear. Rather than focusing on behavior, it reveals the deeper motivations behind how we seek love, belonging, and security. More than a personality system, it offers a path toward healing and freedom.
Each book opens like a doorway, inviting the reader to step inside another way of seeing and being, cultivating compassion, softening judgment, and reminding us that the journey home is one we were never meant to walk alone.
